Solution: Raise the incomes of those who make too little to reach the minimum bracket up to the level where income tax is owed.

Double benefit: More money is able to be spent, demand rises, and companies begin hiring again, competing in a tighter labor market bringing higher wages and more taxpayers. Unemployment goes down and the number of taxpayers that you so lament the lack of goes up.

“See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.”― George W. Bush
